The book with explosive claims against the Louisville men’s basketball program has left dots still to be connected.

The book offers several forms of what it purports to be proof of Powell’s allegations, though none appears to be conclusive.
Powell provides photographs of former U of L players, recruits and McGee posing with her or the performers – in some cases, her daughters – though none shows any illicit activity. The book notes that, during research for publication, some of those athletes or their representatives said they had no knowledge of the parties allegedly organized by McGee. Many others, the author writes, did not respond to messages.

The book is also sprinkled with screenshots of text message exchanges that it claims are between Powell and McGee seeking to arrange for performers to visit groups of players or recruits, though the phone number next to a contact labeled "McGee" is blurred out in some instances and a sender’s name and number are altogether absent in others.

Wild because it featured questions about dancers and hookers and cash and a staff member. But it was mostly wild because nobody denied any of it.

To be clear, nobody acknowledged any of it either.

An independent investigation commissioned by Louisville AD Tom Jurich is ongoing.

But the most telling part of this bizarre, impromptu press conference held on Louisville's campus late Friday afternoon was that though Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino expressed shock and disappointment and insisted he's "heartbroken," he never said he doesn't believe what's alleged to have happened on his watch ever happened. In fact, at one point, a reporter opened a question by saying, "You've mentioned that you don't believe these allegations are true," at which point Pitino said, "I didn't say that."

And, by not saying that, Pitino sure did say a lot.

In the link, the author says Pitino "went way out of his way" to avoid denying the charges. In fact, what happened was that a reporter said "you said [x]" and Pitino replied "I didn't say [x]". I suppose if you want to believe that this exchange is damning you will believe it to be so.

Whether or not McGee is guilty of this, the author is guilty of shoddy journalism.

I seriously doubt there are any trained journalists who became madams. So expecting a polished product from such a person is kind of ludicrous. Don't you think?

The author in this case was the guy who wrote the article in the link, not the "author" of the book.

Frankly I could careless.
We win that's all that matters.

We kicked enough ass in CUSA to get into The Big East. We built facilities, sold tickets, built more facilities, expanded our football stadium and took UConn's rightful spot in The ACC.

Thanks to our friends at Syracuse, Duke, Florida State and Clemson, Louisville beat out a state university located on the Atlantic coast for a spot in one college athletics most prestigious conferences.

Nothing said here by fans of programs stuck in football purgatory is going to change the fact that Louisville is where they want their school to be; so hate away.

So far this season I have tailgated with Auburn, Clemson, Houston and NC State fans. Auburn fans congratulated us for "traveling like an SEC team to Atlanta". Clemson and NC State fans continue to welcome us to the ACC with hospitality and kindness. Though they didn't travel to Louisville in numbers like Clemson the Cougar fans I met that visited PJCS all congratulated Louisville for getting out of The American.

Bottom line Louisville is working its way up the conference ladder. If we have to fracture a few rules so be it. To compete with The SEC you have to act like The SEC. As long as the end justifies the means, I am for it. Again hate away.....

Maybe a small minority.

In actuality, we are ALL going to be paying that hoe and her daughters. She doesn't want to get a job that pays her she would rather give a job that pays her. They'll be getting govt checks after the book money runs out. At least she can put "author" on her resume.

In other news: UCF, UConn, and Cincinnati are all still on the outside wishing they were in Louisville's position.

Jerry,
You guys got the makings of a great team at UC. Good luck this season.

Your post says it all. Honestly, integrity, and morals be damned, so long as the 19 year olds at your school perform better than those at rival schools. Kind of pathetic to see someone who's sense of self worth is so tied up by his teams won lost record, that he proudly proclaims "the end justifies the means". You must be a fine father and example to your kids, if you have any. Carry on CJ. Go Cards.

We should all strive to be perfect like UConn. A school who has had more than its share of issues

I wonder if Louisville sent any girls after UC Irvine's 7'6 center... He might have been tempted, but California girls are fine as well
